Kaffe Table Runner Brightens My Day

This little gem was such a fun project. I adore bright colors, and the greens and reds and oranges and purples in these fabrics make this one of my favorites!


 I purchased this as a kit at the quilt shop in Sisters, Oregon, about four years ago. And then it sat in a drawer. Why, I don't know, because once I got it out to make it up, I was delighted!


Sometimes a kit is just the thing I need to get me motivated for a bigger, more involved project. Sometimes a kit does the trick. Yep, it certainly did this time!


This turned out to be a long table runner, which is perfect for our dining room table. It measures 16" x 71". I finished it and it has brightened up the long winter days we've had this season. Sweet!


This was one of my goals for the quarterly 2018 Finish-A-Long. So glad I put it down as a goal, because now I can thoroughly enjoy it!

Quilting with a smile,
Barb

  2. I do the very same thing, Barb...buy something I love, then put it away in a spot I won't look at again for awhile. I'm glad you brought the kit out and have made it to enjoy! It really is a bright and beautiful runner! Kaffe always uses the best colors, doesn't he?

  8. What a fun project! Don't know whether you inserted the strips improv but it looks like it would be fun to try that way.

  12. I like your bright colors -- surprising me because I'm not that big a fan of his fabric. I don't tend to buy kits at least not to make whatever pattern. I have been known to find kits on deep discounts and buy for the fabric. Congrats on finishing!
